Abstract
Hemoglobin is able to oxidize polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons, PAH′s, in presence of hydrogen peroxide. Among 12 aromatic compounds tested, six were oxidized; anthracene, carbazole, dibenzothiophene, fluorene, 9-hexylanthracene and pyrene. The products were identified as aromatic ketones and sulfoxides. Effect of organic solvent concentration and hemoglobin stability were determined.
